We don't need goalposts, Cholly will have em scoring so many TDs they won't be necessary.

We're trying to reduce the amount of points scored by the visiting team. It's called "thinking outside the box" defense.

Oh, I thought it was because we don't plan to score.

On another note, there is a thread over at Phog about Harbaugh and how it was pretty much a done deal until Lew screwed the pooch. There are articles about it at the time and I guess Harbaugh has said in interviews that was true.

Had he come to KU, it would have been short lived
When the NFL teams came a callin.

Maybe not. NFL teams didn't come calling until after his successful 4th (& 5th?) year at Stanford if memory serves. His first 2 seasons at Stanford were something like 4-8 and 5-7. I don't imagine he would have had that kind of success immediately at KU. However, it wouldn't have been the mess that Charlie walked into. Gill was such a monumental !@#$ up.

[Prison Bitch]

There was no need to hire Harbaugh because we already had our own Snyder, who was already COY and a BCS winner and who had gone to bowls in 4/6 prior years and was 5-0, #13 in the country when the ugly fool AD started his idiotic witch hunt.


On a side note, it's funny that Ogre was grandstanding about "ethics" while, as it was later discovered, he was running the dept like a total crook and personally taking kickbacks.

Gotta love the phog. To this day still believing the Harbaugh story.

Really? You're gonna argue against this. I haven't heard the broadcast but many people said that Harbaugh admitted to it in an interview on one of the KC stations. So Jim is just a liar according to William?

"Jim" is a liar? I don't know if "Jim" is a liar. I personally don't believe that Harbaugh was ever close to signing with KU. Doesn't mean you can't believe.

During realignment we heard all sorts of rumors and speculation, 99% of which were patently false.

"Harbaugh was coming to KU".
"Larry Scott and the PAC12 plane was on its way to Lawrence".
"K-State was the anchor that kept KU from leaving the Big XII to go to...".
"KSU/KU had an agreement to join the Big East".
Norte Dame this... Norte Dame that...

And on and on. I mean it could be true. But I'm much more of a skeptic than you possibly. And As time moves away from the actual events, the tales grow longer and people tend to take a little artistic license with the stories.

Give it a rest, William... give it a rest...

Apparently Cozart, Pierson, Harwell, former tight end Charles Brooks and Christian Garrett beat Joel Embiid, Jamari Traylor, Naadir Tharpe, Frank Mason and some fifth in a basketball game last summer.
